[Q11] Fisher King (Falair)

[Yayoi]

Quote:

You must have a fishing rod base made of whale fin first to start. Anyone without a whale fin cannot actually fish, though they can cheer the others on.

Next, select a bait. Your goal is to catch as many fish as possible, as fish oil is valuable in village things, says the villager. He hands you a tin, and you randomly get a bait. Roll 1d6 to see what you get

1. You get nothing..
2. You get the ear of a minipet
3. You get a ball of tiny spiders.
4. You get a giant spider. Seriously, this thing is huge. Like six feet huge. How did it even fit in there?
5. You get a decent sized worm.
6. You get the tail of a minipet

Now, with the bait, roll 1d100 to see how well you do. Make sure to rp accordingly with using the bait/tackling it/ figuring how to make it work. As long as you fish 11 or higher, your quest is a success. Otherwise, try again!

1-10: You fish up nothing..
11- 30: You fish up an invisible sardine. Or wait, is it a real one? You can't tell.
31- 50: You fish up a decent sized bonefish. It is made of literal bones, how are they going to eat this?
51 - 80. You fish up a giant spider fish. It looks more spider than fish, and is about six feet tall.
81 - 100: You fish up a beautiful premium gourmet finfish. It's tail fetches a good price in the local village market and you are rewarded handsomely.

If you and your team successfully defeat it, you get paid a rusted key. It is considered a quest item. Add it to your quest item list

Falair figured it was time to do a little less investigating and a bit more relaxing. They couldn't all be on edge all the time by all this fog right? Right.

She had made her way towards a fog covered lake. It was hard to actually see the water. Or what might be swimming in it. She leaned over the edge of a pier staring in at her own reflection. Smoothing her hair beneath her hat and veil back just a bit.

Moving back from the waters edge she made her way over to a place where there were different types of bait. What better bait to use than worms? Wiggly, squiggly worms. Some people might've been squeamish but not Falair. The fear of bugs had never taken hold on her.  

[Yayoi]

She sat there for what seemed an eternity. Casting her line ever now and again. Eventually somewhere along the line either a fish had swiped it or the worm had wiggled off the hook.

Either way she wasn't going to capture anything without bait.  

[Yayoi]

She returned to the bait selection. Carefully mulling over each and every possible choice. But she couldn't quite make a decision on what to use. What type of bait was best for this endeavor?

Glancing at a nearby villager, she wiggled a finger at them to come closer. "Tell me citizen, what bait is best for fishing here?" For a moment the villager just stared at her. Falair's eyebrow twitched before the villager finally pointed a shaky finger at one of the boxes. Slowly they reached in and pulled out what looked like a fluffy tail.

Did the creatures here really like fluffy tails? Perhaps it was a fish delicacy.

Either way, Falair took the tail. Giving a small thanks to the villager for their assistance before she returned to the pier. Hooking her new bait to her fishing rod, she once again settled down to cast her line and wait.

Time and a lot of patience were the key to successful fishing. Falair had quite a bit of both. As she cast her line a few times, the mare simply watched the fog roll over the glassy surface of the water. Even now she had taken off her slippers and dipped her feet into the dark, cool liquid.

In the distance it seemed as if storm clouds were gathering, but she payed them no mind. It was relaxing just sitting here. She was half tempted to remove her hat and face mask as well. But a hard tug on the line jolted her out of her day dreams.

She grabbed the rod before it could be wrenched away from her. This time she would catch something for sure. No letting it get away!

Planting her feet firmly on the pier, she tugged the rod. Twisting her body this way and that. It was a fighter! Falair liked that. It was an adrenaline rush. Would she be able to manage pulling it in? Would the line break before she could even get it close to shore? The though of the unknown swirled in her head as the line grew shorter and her catch came closer and closer to the pier.

Surely the line would snap. But at the last moment the fish she had hooked gave in. Falair had won the battle of wills. Scooping the fish into a net one of the villagers had brought her just in case. A wide grin on her face as she held the fish up. Somewhere a camera flashed.

Soon she was taking it to the little marketplace. There the fishmonger was impressed. The fish was a premium one and it's tail fetched Falair a really good price. Well, what they claimed was a good price. She was unsure how a rusty old key was ample reward for what she had caught.
